If Ovi Store was as Good as This Video About It…
…Nokia would have kicked Apple’s ass long ago.

I’m With Coco
Conan O’Brien may not last much longer as Tonight Show host, but he has my support. Over at Salon, Mary Elizabeth Williams has written the definitive, sarcastic story on the NBC-Leno-O’Brien affair.
Conan O’Brien Should Out-Fox NBC
NBC’s reasoning for bringing back Jay Leno to late-night TV is baffling. I now understand why TV programming is rife with dumb-ass decisions: The people making them.
Yahoo!’s ‘Anthem’ Ad is Simply Exceptional
Oh My God! The OMG abbreviation just doesn’t express enough. Yahoo!’s new $100 million advertising campaign is off with a big bang. The ‘Anthem’ TV commercial is aspirational, global and human. Brand advertising doesn’t get much better than this commercial, except perhaps for Yahoo’s new “It’s Y!ou” brand logo.
Now This Is Advertising!
Only Microsoft could be so bold.
As I explained in my last post, TechFlash’s Todd Bishop and I have been bantering back and forth about what is advertising. Oh, these IM arguments can be brutal. Anyway, FedEx showed up 45 minutes ago with the Zune HD and Zune headphones I ordered from Amazon. Look at what’s on the headphone box!
What is an Ad?
TechFlash’s Todd Bishop and I disagree about what constitutes an ad. I ask you which of us is right. The disagreement started over Todd’s post “Windows Ads, Finally Cool?” He reports about some Windows 7 videos that popped up online a few days ago.
What is Microsoft’s Search Engine?
That’s the question Todd Bishop (accompanied by John Cook) asked people on the streets of Seattle about six months ago. No one seemed to know what was Microsoft’s search engine (At that time is was Windows Live). But the two TechFlash reporters asked again yesterday afternoon in front of Seattle Public Library. The results were surprisingly different.
